  Arthropod - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arthropods (Phylum Arthropoda) are the largest phylum of animals and include the insects, arachnids, crustaceans, and other similar creatures.
In approximate statistics, over eighty percent extant (living today) animal species are arthropods, with over a million modern species described and a fossil record reaching back to the early Cambrian.
The Arthropoda make up a very successful phylum— 75% of all animals on Earth are arthropods.

 ARTHROPODA   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Arthropoda means jointed leg, and refers to the jointed chitinous exoskeleton that is the hallmark of the most diverse phylum, with over 500,000 species.
The Phylum Arthropoda consists three great groups: 1) the Superclass Crustacea, which includes shrimp, lobsters, isopods, and many other classes; 2) the Superclass Unirami, which includes the millipedes (and relatives, and the insects; and 3) the Chelicerata, which includes the horseshoe crabs, the scorpions, and the spiders, among others.
The Crustacea are mostly aquatic, the Unirami mostly terrestrial, and the Chelicerata, is split between marine and terrestrial forms.

 Arthropoda
Tactopoda holds a rank intermediate between Arthropoda and Euarthropoda: If the Arthropoda are treated as a phylum, as here, then the rank is between phylum and supersubphylum.
If the Arthropoda are considered a superphylum (a very reasonable alternative) then the Tactopoda might legitimately be treated as a phylum.

 The Trilobites, Crabs, Insects, Spiders and their Allies (Phylum Arthropoda)
The phylum Arthropoda is huge in terms of both numbers of species and in terms of numbers of individuals.
As insects their value as pollinators of flowering plants and therefore as preservers of floral diversity is incalculable, while there contribution to modern biological and ecological research is equally extensive.
The arthropoda have been around for a long time and several major, and many minor lineags are now extinct, perhaps the most well know of these are the Trilobites.
